The rapid development of third-generation (3G) mobile technologies has led to the emergence of a new kind of learning called mobile learning (m-learning). M-learning means the use of mobile devices to access learning materials at anytime and anywhere with the aid of mobile terminals and networks. This paper explores the possibility of applying m-learning for schools in Egypt through a proposed model of acceptance factors that may affect the students’ intentions to adopt m-learning. We use the original model of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and extended it with three new factors mobility, interactivity, and enjoyment.

Use Of Technology

The purpose of this chapter is to explore aspects of user perceptions of their use of location-based services. As mobile technologies become more ubiquitous in the general population, it is reasonable to assume that individuals will consume services and software to enhance their aspirations and entertainment desires. This study begins by constructing a location-based service prototype simulation. It then conducts an experiment and analysis based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A survey was developed to extract usage information from participants, followed by an analysis of the results using PLS. The analysis shows significant indicators that suggest behaviour patterns of early adopters of location-based services are being observed. This chapter applies the UTAUT model using a location-based service experiment to understand the underlying perceptions of individuals who may adopt location-based services. The authors study the effects of multiple parameters on the use of a location-based service simulation. Through this simulation and a following survey, current perceptions of LBS are investigated and insights gained.

And Gender

It has been observed that mobile learning (mLearning) in institutions like Museums in the United Kingdom (UK) has been underutilized. mLearning usage could potentially increase productivity by delivering just-in-time technical knowledge to the science museum group (SMG) staff. This study uses the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to determine factors affecting mLearning adoption at the SMG. Two research questions were formulated based on an adaptation of the UTAUT model. 1) What are the determinants of behavior intentions to use mLearning at the SMG? 2) Does gender or age have a moderating effect on the factors that determine behavior intentions to use mLearning at the SMG? 118 respondents were surveyed from the SMG. Data obtained were analyzed using Structured Equation Modelling on IBM SPSS 20 and Amos version 25. Results indicate that the UTAUT constructs, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions are all significant determinants of behavioral intention to use mLearning. A newly proposed construct, self-directed learning was not a significant determinant of behaviour intentions. Further examination found age and gender moderate the relationship between the UTAUT constructs. These findings present several useful implications for mLearning research and practice for ICT service desk at the SMG. The research contributes to mLearning technology adoption and strategy.

The Impact

The availability of website for an institution is very important, especially for an educational institution just like ABC University. The website can become a mean of communication from the institute to its stake holder: students, parents, industries, lecturers, administrators, and government or from the stakeholders to the institution. The availability of website is also important to increase the image of the institution, since there is university web ranking published by WeboMatrix. ABC University has already built its website and communicated, socialized as well the availability of its website to all students, lecturers, and administrator. So far the adoption of the websites by students, lecturers, and administrators especially by using the Modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model has not been explored. This lack of knowledge motivated the researcher to conduct this study. This study investigates the key factors that affect the behavioral intention and used behavior of customers toward the use of the website in ABC University Indonesia. The approach employed for this study is based on a modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. A survey method was employed to gather data from 310 respondents coming from the students, lecturers, administrator, and management. The collected data was analyzed using a quantitative investigation. The partial least squares (PLS) method was used to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the key constructs of the modified UTAUT model. This research clearly confirmed that modified UTAUT model which consists ofperformance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, andcontentcan be used to determinebehavioral intentionof consumers to use Website.

E-government services have become a vital tool to provide citizens with more accessible, accurate and high-quality services and information. E-government system provides an efficient dissemination of information to people and eases people to communicate directly with government services. The utilization of ICT through e-government enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery in the public sector. The system is regarded as one of the vital elements to be a developed country. The application of e-government indicates the readiness and ability of the nation utilizing technology within public administration periscope. Although the Malaysian government has introduced e-government for many years, its acceptance still not very high. Therefore, this paper studies the key factors of Malaysian citizens’ in Sintok, Kedah, a semi- rural area on approval on e-government services based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and the Use of Technology (UTAUT Model). The survey data was collected from 83% respondents to measure people understanding and awareness toward e-government system. The results show that there is an excellent understanding among Malaysian towards e-government system.

ABSTRAKPenelitian dengan pendekatan model Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model dilakukan untuk mengkaji adopsi teknologi dan perilaku penggunaan aplikasi IPB Mobile khususnya IPB Mobile for Students. Sampel penelitian dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling, yaitu sebanyak 400 mahasiswa program sarjana. Data penelitian berupa data primer yang dikumpulkan melalui penyebaran kuisioner. Analisis data dilakukan dengan structural equation modelling partial least square (SEM-PLS). Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa persepsi responden pada indikator-indikator model UTAUT menunjukkan penilaian yang sudah baik. Effort expectancy berpengaruh positif terhadap variabel behavioral intention. Variabel use behavior mahasiswa dipengaruhi secara langsung oleh facilitating conditions dan behavioral intention. Implikasi manajerial dari hasil penelitian ini hendaknya dapat dijadikan salah satu dasar untuk perbaikan aplikasi IPB Mobile for Student sehingga dapat meningkatkan pelayanan bagi mahasiswa, baik akademik maupun nonakademik, antara lain penyediaan fasilitas wifi yang memadai di berbagai area yang sering digunakan untuk kegiatan belajar mengajar mahasiswa guna meningkatkan akses terhadap aplikasi dan perbaikan fitur-fitur yang sudah ada sehingga ramah digunakan oleh mahasiswa. ABSTRACTResearch with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model approach was conducted to examine technology adoption and behavior in using IPB Mobile applications, especially IPB Mobile for Students. The research sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, as many as 400 undergraduate students. Research data in the form of primary data collected through the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The results of data analysis show that respondents' perceptions of the indicators of the UTAUT model show a good assessment. Effort expectancy has a positive effect on behavioral intention variables. The variable use behavior of students is directly influenced by facilitating conditions and behavioral intention. The managerial implications of the results of this study should be used as a basis for improving the IPB Mobile for Student application so that it can improve services for students, both academic and non-academic, including the provision of adequate wifi facilities in various areas that are often used for student teaching and learning activities. in order to increase access to applications and improve existing features so that they are friendly to use by students.
